Category 1: The Basics - What is Pillow Pays?

Q1: What exactly is Pillow Pays?

A financial service called "Pillow Pays" offers to remove the financial worry associated with insurance deductibles. In exchange for a small monthly subscription fee, we will pay the deductible for an auto insurance, home insurance, or renters insurance claim. Now you can afford to put the insurance company first and be comfortable selecting an insurance plan that has a higher deductible. By selecting a plan with a higher deductible, you will pay a lower premium each month.

Q2: Is Pillow Pays insurance?

No, Pillow Pays is not an insurance company. Rather, Pillow Pays is a financial technology company that offers a subscription-based service for reimbursement. Pillow Pays simply supplements your insurance policy to pay your deductible expense while you are waiting for your insurance settlement but doesn't replace your insurance company. You will need to maintain your standard auto insurance policy or home/renters policy with a licensed insurance company to enroll in Pillow Pays.


"The purpose of a deductible," says the Insurance Information Institute, "is to make the policyholders share in the loss to help minimize small claims situations." Pillow Pays helps you take care of your part of the loss.

Q3: What problem does Pillow Pays solve?

The basic issue we are resolving is known as the Deductible Dilemma: Insurance companies will give you lower monthly insurance rates for setting a high deductible, but in return, you are taking a significant financial risk: a $2,000 deductible can be a huge financial blow to your wallet; Pillow Pays lets you have your cake and eat it too!

Category 2: How It Works

Q4: How do I sign up?

Signing up is easy! Just visit our Sign Up page, choose your plan (Comfort or Premium), and create your account. The whole process takes just a few minutes.

Q5: How do you know what my deductible is?

As part of our on-boarding process, you will be asked to upload a scanned version of the insurance policy you have (your declaration pages) through our member area. Our AI-powered software will scan them to confirm details of coverage and deductibles. For more information, check out our How It Works page.
